CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT
At St. John Eudes School, Christ is our model; and we teach obedience and love for Him and His Church. Students are taught to live their faith by worshiping at Mass each Sunday and Holy Day, asking forgiveness of God and others, being of service to others, growing in personal prayer, developing a respectful attitude toward life, acting with sincerity…we must be able to count on the unity of purpose and conviction of parents, students, teachers, Sisters and priests. Over and above providing an academic education, we are determined to help the students to choose the Christian way of life. Cooperation by all is a duty of conscience. |
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of St. John Eudes School to educate students with Christian morality, character, compassion and integrity, to live as committed followers of Jesus Christ as faithful members of the Catholic Church and to succeed in the 21st century as responsible learners, productive leaders, and caring citizens of their communities and environment. |
PHILOSOPHY
St. John Eudes School accepts the mission of educating students in faith and knowledge. We model Jesus Christ by centering our teaching on integrating faith, life, and learning, building community, and providing opportunities for worship. We concentrate on building character, learning as a process, valuing self-esteem, respecting individual differences and educating for service. We are committed to professing the spirit of Saint Paula Montal by nurturing Christian values, providing quality education and supporting families in teaching our Catholic faith. We follow the charism of St. John Eudes by fostering Christian service and demonstrating compassion to those in need. While parents serve as the primary educators, we serve as facilitators of learning that teach students to think, learn and make decisions.
